No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Rose M. TOMASIELLO, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bronx, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cosmetic Compositions for Application to the Hair and Scalp, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a new article of n manufacture, a cosmetic composition in the form of a cream for use in connection with the hair and scalp, and has for its object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a composition, for the purpose referred to, formed from compounding a plurality of constituents, to be hereinafter described, providing means which when rubbed on the scalp or hair will act to prevent dandruff, impart vigor and life to the hair, reducing the falling out of the hair to a minimum and further provide an invigorating composition for strengthening and preserving the hair.

A cosmetic composition, in accordance with this invention and for the purpose set forth, is formed from compounding the roots of lily plants, beef marrow, refined petroleum and a suitable perfume if desired, and by way of example, the proportions of the several constituents which form the composition are as follows Bulbous root-like portions of a lily plant 4 ounces, beef marrow 4 pounds, refined petroleum 4 tablespoonfuls, and any required quantity of perfume.

The lily plant root employed is the bulb of the ordinary Bermuda easter lily.

The manner of preparing the cream is as follows: bi lbous root like portion of the Application filed June 29, 1922.

Serial No. 571,798.

lily plant is boiled in water for about half an hour, after which the root is removed and placed on a strainer. The beef marrow is then placed on the strainer and the root and marrow subjected to a straining: action by rubbing the said constituents or in any other suitable manner to strain the same. During the straining step the root and marrow are mixed together. After the two constituent-s have been strained, the petroleum is added thereto and thoroughly admixed therewith. The resulting compound is in the form of a substantially liquid cream and to the latter is added the desired quantity of perfume.

A cosmetic composition, compounded in a manner as hereinbefore set forth, provides a cream which when used on the scalp, will purify and open the pores thereof, preventing dryness of the scalp, thereby overcoming en the formation of dandruff and it furthermore invigorates the scalp in such a manner so that the hair is strengthened as well as preserved, under such conditions reducing the falling out of the hair to a minimum. 55
